AI-Overview Remover Chrome extension

AI-Overview Remover strips the AI Overview panel out of Google Search results pages, so you see standard links instead. It's best for people who find AI-generated summaries distracting or prefer to evaluate sources themselves. The catch: it only affects how the page displays, not what Google itself returns.

What AI-Overview Remover does

AI-Overview Remover detects and hides the AI Overview panel that Google shows at the top of many search results pages, letting you scroll straight to the standard list of links instead. It works automatically once installed, so there's no need to manually dismiss the panel on every search.

Is AI-Overview Remover safe?

The extension needs to run on Google Search pages to detect and hide the AI Overview element, which is standard for a page-modifying tool of this kind. Review the permissions shown on its Chrome Web Store listing, and note that it only changes what's displayed in your browser, not Google's underlying results.

AI-Overview Remover: FAQs

Is AI-Overview Remover free?

Is AI-Overview Remover safe to use?

It runs on Google Search pages to hide the AI Overview panel; check its listed permissions before installing.

How do I use AI-Overview Remover?

Install it and search on Google as usual; the AI Overview panel is hidden automatically on the results page.

What does AI-Overview Remover actually do?

It removes the AI-generated summary panel from Google Search results so you see standard links instead.

Does AI-Overview Remover work on other search engines?

It's built for Google Search specifically, based on its listing.

What are alternatives to AI-Overview Remover?

Other browser extensions and userscripts offer similar functionality for hiding AI-generated summary panels on search pages.

Does AI-Overview Remover change Google's actual search results?

No, it only changes what's displayed in your browser; Google still generates the AI Overview on its end.

Why does the AI Overview panel sometimes still appear?

Google periodically changes how AI Overviews are shown, which can require the extension to update to keep hiding them.

Can I temporarily see the AI Overview after installing this?

You can typically disable the extension from your browser's extensions menu if you want to view the panel again.

What happens to AI-Overview Remover if Google redesigns the AI Overview layout?

Because the extension detects a specific panel structure on Google's results pages, a layout change on Google's end can make AI-Overview Remover stop hiding the panel until it's updated to match. That's a normal maintenance cycle for a tool built around a page Google controls, not a sign it's broken.
